Indeed. My bad.

@marmis The following provided binaries are not already stripped from the tarball: crashhandler.so, steamerrorreporter, and steamcmd all in /usr/lib/steamcmd/linux32.

marmis commented on 2026-07-01 03:42 (UTC)

Since the provided binaries are already stripped, this package should have options=(!strip !debug) to keep the binary unmodified and verifiable against upstream, avoid unnecessary work in makepkg and skip broken -debug packages.

Should this package move to using sdl3 or does Steam not support that yet?

My bad. That was just me not having multilib enabled

that is an issue from the steamcmd itself. i fixed it by adding this line to the hosts file (from this discussion)

yeah looks like lib32-sdl12-compat needs to be added to the dependencies

lib32-sdl2 and lib32-dbus are installed but you still get 

$ steamcmd
Redirecting stderr to '/home/user/.local/share/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'
[  0%] Checking for available updates...
[----] Verifying installation...
[  0%] Downloading update...
[  0%] Checking for available updates...
[----] !!! Fatal Error: Steamcmd needs to be online to update. Please confirm your network connection and try again.
src/tier0/threadtools.cpp (3690) : Assertion Failed: Illegal termination of worker thread 'Thread(0x0x58b8d660/0x0xf76b5b'

so that does not fix anything at all with those suggestions.

To avoid SDL errors, install lib32-sdl2.

This package misses dependency lib32-dbus. Without lib32-dbus, steamcmd is unusable.

$ steamcmd
Redirecting stderr to '/home/user/.steam/logs/stderr.txt'
ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt".

threadtools.cpp (3294) : Assertion Failed: Illegal termination of worker thread 'Thread(0x0x5822b320/0x0xf7768a'

Installing lib32-dbus avoids this error, and allows steamcmd to make network connections.

0x5a17ed: The package bash is part of the group base and is expected to be installed. Any package from base (and make dependencies from base-devel) are not required to be included as per the packaging guidelines on the wiki.
